Hi,

I am looking to buy a new cheap laptop and for basic browsing and such. I am UK based and I bumped into this

http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Sony_Fit15E_Ci5_4GB_500GB_W8_15.6_Wht_SVF1532G4EW/version.asp

It appears to be an i5-4200u laptop with 1920x1080 screen.

Grateful if someone answers me.

1) Does anyone have experience with laptopsdirect.co.uk?
2) The spec has an i5-4200u CPU but it says it is clocked at 1.6GHz. Did they just forget to put on the "Turbo boost up to 2.6GHz" spec in the description or there are actually i5-4200U's out there with no adaptive clock?

Thanks

Laptops direct I have never used, but as from user experience from the site, reliable.

Yes they forgot to put the "(3M Cache, up to 2.60 GHz)",(which is turbo speed) there is no 4200u with no boost CPU speed.
